It is correct that the kernel is that gating issue for making this
change. There are technical issues that make the change difficult. The
rename syscall is defined to be atomic to fix race and consistency
problems with the original link+unlink behavior. Making an attempt to
fix it in userspace,

I posed a question where to begin digging on the Linux kernel mailing
list, the filesystem maintainer, OGAWA Hirofumi replied as below:
This is known issue for case-insensitive fs. (BTW, CI is case-
insensitive).
To allow rename(filename, FILENAME), we have to fix two issues. One

Nicklas, great; do you know whether there are any upstream bugs in
coreutils or linux tracking these?

Thanks for looking in to this Nicklas. One thing to point out though -
when you discover that the bug affects another source package in Ubuntu,
you should click on the Also affects distribution link above, select
Ubuntu and then specify the name of the source package. This way, the
bug is assigned

This has been discussed on the coreutils mailing list some time ago:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-08/msg00042.html
- no real conclusion, except that there was an agreement that there were
doubts on the behaviour;
-
No, it is not glib that does this.
The terminal also shows the same behavior:
lordmetr...@lordmetroid-laptop:/media/disk$ mv test Test
mv: `test' and `Test' are the same file
It has to be in the implementation of the filesystem...

When you ran mv there, it exited before even calling the rename()
system call (I ran it through strace), so that could just be a bug in
coreutils.
However, I just compiled a little test program (attached) and ran it
through strace with some interesting results:

There was some confusion when I talked to other people if renaming files
in this manner actually was possible to do on Windows. Just want to
mention that it is possible to rename a file from test to Test on
Windows XP.

(IMO this is a bug because, while FAT32 isn't case-sensitive, it is
case-preserving.)

Thanks, this looks like a glib bug though. Nautilus tries to change the
filename with g_file_set_display_name_async () in both successful and
unsuccessful attempts at changing the filename (I ran it through GDB to
see), so it seems that the problem is in glib.
